All library staff and FYSP faculty are invited to join RIG in the Thornton Room or on zoom at 3:00PM on Thursday, July 25 to discuss Verified:
How to Think Straight, Get Duped Less, and Make Better Decisions about What to Believe Online by Mike Caulfield and Sam Wineburg.
It’s an engaging and funny read that updates outdated information literacy advice (like paying too much attention to website domain) and provides helpful strategies for navigating misinformation online. I highly recommend that anyone who teaches or promotes library collections to students check out the book and attend the discussion. We’ll be brainstorming how we can use these techniques to get students to engage critically with resources like our New York Times and Wall Street Journal subscriptions. Use this form to suggest discussion questions.
You can find copies in OhioLink and SearchOhio. If you’re having trouble getting one of those to arrive on time, 2 of the 5 copies we purchased to give away at new student orientation are still available for staff to read before the book club (just treat them gently!) Ask Alonso if you want to borrow one.
